Abstract: An electronic device and a fingerprint sensing control method thereof are provided. A sensing region of a display panel is divided into a plurality of fingerprint zones. The electronic device determines at least one target fingerprint zone from the fingerprint zones according to a touched area. The electronic device scans the at least one target fingerprint zone for performing fingerprint sensing. The electronic device performs an accelerated reading operation. The accelerated reading operation includes: reading at least one sensing signal from the at least one target fingerprint zone; and skipping reading at least one of the fingerprint zones other than the at least one target fingerprint zone among the fingerprint zones.

Abstract: A display apparatus and an fingerprint sensing method thereof are provided. A display panel of the display apparatus has a pixel circuit array, an in-display touch sensor array, and an in-display fingerprint sensor array. A driving circuit drives the in-display fingerprint sensor array to read a fingerprint image. A current display frame period is divided into a plurality of unit periods, each of the unit periods includes at least one fingerprint sensing period and one or both of a display driving period and a touch sensing period. The driving circuit resets a current fingerprint sensor in the in-display fingerprint sensor array during a first fingerprint sensing period among these fingerprint sensing periods of the first display frame period. The driving circuit reads a sensing result of the current fingerprint sensor during a second fingerprint sensing period succeeding to the first fingerprint sensing period.

Abstract: An electronic device, a fingerprint sensing control method and a fingerprint scanning control method are provided. A sensing region of a display panel is divided into a plurality of fingerprint zones. The electronic device determines at least one target fingerprint zone from the fingerprint zones according to a touched area. The electronic device scans the at least one target fingerprint zone to control the at least one target fingerprint zone for performing fingerprint sensing. The electronic device performs an accelerated scanning operation. The accelerated scanning operation includes: setting a scanning speed corresponding to at least one target scanning group coupled to at least the touched area to a first speed; and setting a scanning speed corresponding to one or more scanning groups other than the at least one target scanning group to a second speed higher than the first speed.

Abstract: An electronic device and a fingerprint sensing control method thereof are provided. The electronic device includes a touch control circuit and a fingerprint sensing control circuit. The touch control circuit is coupled to the display panel. The touch control circuit performs touch detection on the display panel to obtain a finger press area corresponding to the finger on the display panel. The fingerprint sensing control circuit is coupled to the touch control circuit to obtain a finger press area. The fingerprint sensing control circuit is coupled to the display panel to perform a fingerprint sensing control on a display panel. The fingerprint sensing control circuit scans the finger press area on the display panel in a first direction during a first period and scans the finger press area in a second direction different from the first direction during a second period after the first period.
